We were told that it is not appropriate for the MAG to formally discuss 
the document. Informal discussions I havn't seen yet because most of us 
had no time to properly read the text.

I asked somebody skilled in writing and reading such documents for 
clarification regarding para 18, which I found difficult to understand.
The way I read it, the SG claims authority over any improvements of the 
MAG. This authority he then delegates to the secretariat or the IGF 
participants themselves. If this reading is correct, I would find it 
quite extraordinary. But let us not forget, the note is just a draft and 
the GA may ask for changes.
